For vadose zone or groundwater applications, the bacteria can be applied into wells or infiltration galleries. Often the addition of specially-formulated nutrients can be used to augment the activity of the product in conditions where macro nutrients such as carbon, nitrogen, or phosphate are limited. A good monitoring program is critical to the success of any bioremediation project.
